RECENT NOVELS.
some of the Characteristics of
the Modern Rom nee.

Undoubtedly the return to the ear.
liest form of writing, to the pure
romance of adventure, is very in
teresting thing indeed, and if any
thing could be wanting to make it
more interesting it would be the
close coincidence Of three examples
Of it in England, each of which
recognized the principle, each of
which obtained great popularity by
this recognition, but which, both in
the one book which will not last and
the two which will, showed many OF
the faults of new experiments.
1t is unnecessary, and would be un-
gracious, to say much here of the
faults of "Called Back" 1t is suffi-
cient to say, without being more
than critically unfair to the public, it
is impossible to account for its tenn
porary popularity, except on the
ground that, with all its faults, it was
distinctly an attempt to tell an inter
esting story. AS literature of course
both Treasure Island" and "King
Solomon's Mines" are miles
above "Called Back and thev
also exceed it in interest, but
they, too, set the same simple aim be-
fore them, and succeed in it. Both
writer's seem from fear or some other
reason to have exercised a rather I'M
necessary economy Of means. Mr..
Stevens voluntarily depriving himself
of the most fertile source-a source
more fertile than all others joined to-
gether-of romance interest, while
Mr.. Haggard drew on it only spar
ingly in the episode of Foulata.
But We do not want detailed criti-
cism of these books, or of any books
here. The point is that in both the
writers have deliberately reverted to
the simpler instead of the more COM
plicated land of novels and have
ing and refined character analysis. l
hold that they have done right and
wisely. For the fictitious Gas distin-
guished from the poetic) portraiture
of manners and the fictitious dissection
of character deal for the most part with
minute and superficial points and when
those points have been attacked over
and over again or when the manners or
characters of time have become very
much leveled and mannerized, an in
evitable monotony and want of fresh
ness in the treatment comes about.
This seems to have been the case in
all European languages more or less
for long time. Except in the min
utest details, manners have altered
very little for the last half century,
a stability Which has not been little
increased by the very popularity of
novels themselves.
A boy or girl now learns manners
less from life than from books, and
reproduces those manners in his or her
own fresh generation. The novel has
thus bred ''in and in," until the inev-
table result Of feebleness of strain has
been reached. But the incidents, and
the broad and poetic feature ofcharac-
ter on which the romance IT lies, are
not matters which change ut all.
They are always the same, with a
sameness of nature, not convention.
The zest with which we read novels
of character and manners is derived,
at least in the main, from the unlike
ness Of the characters and manners
directed d[-Fortnigh Review.
